Administrator's Statement
Stephen F. Austin State University
General Statement of the President
Overview
Founded in 1923, Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU) is a comprehensive institution located in Nacogdoches that is dedicated to excellence in teaching, research,
scholarship, creative work, and service. Throughout the university, faculty and staff provide personal attention, engaging our students in a learner-centered environment
and offering opportunities to prepare for the challenges of living in the global community . Stephen F. Austin State University benefits the East Texas community and the
State of Texas by providing a high quality, affordable education.
SFASU serves students through a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. Eighty six undergraduate programs and 44 master degree programs are available in six
colleges (Business, Education, Fine Arts, Forestry and Agriculture, Liberal and Applied Arts, and Sciences and Mathematics). Additionally, SFASU offers three doctoral
programs: the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Forestry, and School Psychology as well as the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership. Many degrees offer
complete programs or courses via distance education.
Students
Stephen F. Austin State University is proud of its mission as a comprehensive university serving students who are primarily residents of Texas . Ninety-seven percent of
SFASU students are Texas residents and 91% percent are residents within 200 miles of Nacogdoches. In fact, most students (84%) come from Dallas (22%), East Texas
(32%), and Houston (30%).
In fall 2018, SFASU marked its 95th anniversary with an historical high enrollment of 13,144 (87% undergraduates and 13% graduates). Within the past year, SFA total
enrollment has increased by more than 500 students (4%). Approximately one-half of SFASU degrees are awarded to first generation college students.
The university is increasing degree completion numbers with high need populations by serving diverse groups, including nearly 1,200 economically disadvantaged
graduates and more than 900 Hispanic and African American graduates in 2017.
One of the 60x30TX goals is for 80% of students to be working or enrolled after receiving a degree. SFA already exceeds this goal with 83% of SFA graduates working or
enrolled in another higher education institution for an additional degree. Overall one-year retention rate for first-time, full-time freshmen is approximately 71 percent. Our
goal is to increase this rate by eight more percentage points by 2023.
SFA continues to award an increasing number of degrees, with more than 2,700 degrees awarded in fiscal year 2018. The university’s commitment to helping students
succeed is further noted through the recent 4.5 percentage point increase in a six-year graduate rate of 48.6% (fall 2018).
Student Success
Student success is a high priority for Stephen F. Austin State University. In support of the large population of first generation and all other students , SFASU supports
student success and learning through many different initiatives.

86th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1
Administrator's Statement
In May 2016, Stephen F. Austin State University launched a Student Success Center, which unites a number of academic initiatives designed to promote student success
including: the Academic Assistance and Resource Center, SFA 101 freshman seminar, Academic Advising for Undecided Students, Texas Success Initiative, Pathways
Bridge Program, and GenJacks (a learning community for first generation students). This new Center supports and promotes student success by collaborating academic
resources and increasing communication and cooperation among faculty, staff, and students. SFASU also recently partnered with other higher education institutions
through a nationwide effort in “Re-imagining the First Year” (RFY).The RFY initiative focuses on specific student learning efforts and engages in benchmark, target and
performance evaluation to determine improved first-year student success and subsequent graduation.
Additionally, SFASU provides support to a unique student population through the Veterans Resource Center . This space provides networking opportunities for veterans
and serves as a hub for programming efforts that include connections with other veterans as well as access to veterans ' resources provided by the university and outside
agencies.
Since its founding in 1923, SFASU has been a leader in the state in preparation of educators. The James I. Perkins College of Education is the largest college, enrolling
30% of the student population. Graduates of SFASU’s teacher preparation programs routinely achieve high educator certification pass rates. Likewise, SFASU has a large
enrollment of nursing majors, who have high state licensure pass rates. The Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture provides an exceptional opportunity for
students to study ways in which to enhance the health and vitality of the environment. Faculty research through the College focuses on conservation and the protection
of our forests and natural resources including water resources.
Access and Affordability
SFASU is committed to making higher education affordable to its students. In addition to strategically managing resources, SFASU has taken great strides to increase
efficiency and contain costs. Financial aid also plays a significant role in making college more affordable to students. In fiscal year 2018, approximately 87% of SFASU
students received financial aid, amounting to a total disbursement of $150 million, $71.8 million in gift aid and $78.1 million in loan funds. This includes 4,821 students, who
received $20.9 million in Pell Grants.
During fiscal year 2018, SFASU students received over $8.8 million in Texas Grant awards. Of the total awarded, $4 million was provided to initial recipients and $4.8 million
for returning students’ renewals.
In an effort to reduce costs, SFA has been diligent to increase efficiency through energy conservation. In fact, SFA has completed three energy performance contract
phases that have resulted in a nearly 30% reduction in electricity consumption. Our natural gas consumption has been reduced nearly 34 percent.
Stephen F. Austin State University appreciates the sacrifice and service of veterans and their families. However, the Hazlewood Act tuition and fee exemption for military
veterans, their children, and qualifying spouses presents a significant and mounting cost to all Texas institutions of higher education . During the fiscal year 2018, 71
veterans and 610 dependents received a Hazlewood Exemption totaling over $4.7 million. This represents an increase of 2.47% from fiscal year 2017 and 12.15% from fiscal
year 2016. Of the 610 dependents, 545 students received the Hazlewood Legacy Exemption. The General Revenue funds distributed in fiscal years 2016, 2017, and 2018
assisted in covering previous year’s Hazlewood exemptions; however, the growing enrollment of those who are eligible for the exemption requires institutions to seek
alternative methods for covering the cost of this exemption.We hope that the legislature will help institutions find funding solutions to this growing challenge .

Administrator's Statement
Ten Percent General Revenue-related Base Reduction
Pursuant to LAR instructions, Stephen F. Austin State University is submitting a ten percent general revenue reduction scenario. As a result of past general revenue
budget and funding reductions, Stephen F. Austin State University would likely have to reduce its workforce in order to manage another reduction of state
appropriations. Past funding reductions have prevented the university from hiring needed academic and student support positions. The ten percent appropriations
reduction would adversely impact the university’s ability to deliver current academic and student services.
Exceptional Item Requests
State Support for Capital Construction annual debt service of approximately $4.18 million. This will provide the funding for the construction of a new $48 million Natural
Resources Science and Innovations Laboratory Building that will provide contemporary laboratories and classrooms for multiple cooperating and interdependent
academic programs within the college including: Forestry, Agriculture, Environmental Science, Geospatial Science and Military Science. Students graduating from these
disciplines have great success in job placement with nearly 100 percent finding positions in their chosen career due to the increased need for professionals in these
disciplines.
Enrollment growth in the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture has exceeded the availability of laboratory space for all degree programs . The increased
capacity and updated laboratory space will allow faculty to recruit students, teach current industry standard practices and techniques, and conduct peer-reviewed
research. Faculty will be able to attract external funding from state and national agencies as well as private funding from individuals, businesses and industries.
The new space will enhance existing cooperation between the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture and SFASU academic programs from across the campus.
Additionally, this building will facilitate developing partnerships with community and junior colleges by increasing the capacity to deliver courses. Outreach and
continuing education programs will be expanded through new laboratory space, which will also facilitate the development of professional certificate programs.
STEM Education/Early Childhood Program – SFASU requests $1,000,000 per year of the biennium to engage faculty in the research, program development, and teacher
preparation/professional development necessary to advance Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) early childhood education. We intend to
develop best practices for the professional development of teachers and rich learning experiences for young children in preschool and kindergarten classrooms that will
be sustainable and replicable across the state of Texas.
A vibrant STEM workforce is vital to making Texas globally competitive. Institutions of higher education are being called upon to widen the STEM pipeline at all levels of
education. The early childhood years are particularly critical to the development of STEM concepts. Research confirms that the first five years of life account for over 90%
of brain development and that the brain is particularly receptive to learning math and logic between the ages of 1 and 4. Nationally, approximately 40% of U.S. children are
not ready for kindergarten and too many children reach grade 4 lacking key science and math knowledge and skills. This deficiency is evident in Texas to the extent that
the state has provided increased funding for high quality prekindergarten programs.
SFASU proposes to combine the efforts of the College of Sciences and Mathematics and the James I. Perkins College of Education to invest our efforts in STEM teaching
and learning specific to early childhood education as well as to provide professional development for early childhood educators and caregivers.

Administrator's Statement
Programs Recommended for Consolidation or Elimination by THECB
Pursuant to Sec. 61.0512(f), Education Code, the following is a list of programs the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board recommended for consolidation or
elimination that the SFASU Board of Regents approved for continuation: Chemistry, BS; Economics, BA; Forestry, PhD; School Mathematics Teaching, MS. The
university administration strongly believes that these programs are essential to the academic mission of the university.
Background Checks
The University Police Department conducts background checks using the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), the Texas law Enforcement Telecommunication’s
System, (TLETS), and the Texas Crime Information Center, (TCIC). Criminal histories, driving records, warrants, stolen property, missing persons or other types of
sensitive law enforcement information are obtained from these data bases. In addition, the Department of Human Resources uses a firm to obtain county criminal felony
and misdemeanor information, national sexual offender information, social security number validation, and information from the National Criminal Database. From these
data sources, Human Resources obtains background data on all faculty and staff, graduate assistants, and casual employees.
Conclusion
Stephen F. Austin State University has worked diligently to manage resources efficiently and to find cost savings without impacting the quality of education for students .
The University serves an essential role in educating the students of Texas and the continued support of the Legislature is critical to facilitating SFASU’s ability to
provide an affordable, high quality education.
Stephen F. Austin is governed by a Board of Regents. The current members of the Board of Regents are included in the organizational chart.

Comments: For all three years our actual 704 revenue came in less than the GAA
amount. In 2018, SFA experienced a 9.9% decrease in graduate enrollment and
our estimate for 2019 takes into consideration an additional decrease until we see
otherwise.

Revised Receipts
$1,280,706 $1,225,120 $1,018,702 $0 $0
Comments: The estimated amounts on our Schedule 1 for 2017, 2018 and 2019 in
our 2016 LAR are much closer to the actual amounts that are recorded on our
current Schedule 1. However, our revised receipts are so large because the
amounts on the GAA are significantly lower than the amounts we estimated. For
instance, our estimate for 2018 was $17,072,935, but the GAA amount was
$15,549,901. The actuals ended up being $16,844,099, which was only a
difference of $228,836 from our estimate, but a $1,294,198 difference from the
GAA. No significant activity caused the actuals to be higher than what was in
the GAA. Our actuals were close to what we estimated. This is the case for all 3
years.

Unauthorized Amount Below Cap (478.1) (41.4) 0.0 0.0 (41.4)
Comments: The primary reason for decrease in FTEs below the cap for 2017:
A benefits proportional audit determined that Education and General
employees whose salaries were partially paid from non-appropriated funds
should have associated benefits paid from those funds. When General
Revenue and General Revenue-Dedicated funds for Education and General
employees were exhausted each year, salaries were no longer reimbursed
from appropriated funds. However, the benefits continued to be reimbursed
from General Revenue for the remainder of the fiscal year. We corrected the
issue by moving a number of Education and General employees to
institutionally-funded salaries and benefits. Therefore, our appropriated
FTE is reduced to reflect the number of Education and General employees
whose salaries and benefits are paid exclusively from appropriated funds.

Organized Activities
All costs of activities or enterprises separately organized and operated in connection with instructional departments primarily of the purpose of giving professional training
to students as a necessary part of the educational work of the related departments. Organized activities provide laboratory experiences for the University students in
Agriculture and Early Childhood programs of instruction. These units also provide public service to the community and region and serve as resources in conducting
appropriate research.
Raises in minimum wage, rising cost of food, feed and equipment affect the teaching farms and early childhood lab. The farms do not produce enough income to cover the
cost of operation because they are instructional units and lack economies of scale.

The mission of the Rural Nursing Initiative is to address the shortage of nurses in rural East Texas by increasing the number of students admitted into the nursing program .
Since nurses who train in rural areas tend to remain in rural areas, funding for this item would permit additional students to be admitted to the baccalaureate program and will
thereby increase the number of nurses in the East Texas region. This is a continuation of the current project.

DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION:
Construction of a $48 million Natural Resources Science and Innovations Laboratory will provide a multidisciplinary facility serving all programs in the SFASU Arthur Temple
College of Forestry and Agriculture (forestry, agriculture, environmental science, geospatial science), and the military science program. The new facility would enhance the
service provided by the college for programs across the university. Synergy between the military science program and the college’s geospatial science program will be
increased, especially in the disciplines of mapping, remote sensing, land surveying, geospatial analysis and the use of unmanned aerial systems. The new building would
replace three antiquated buildings scheduled for demolition in the SFASU Master Plan resulting in efficiencies in teaching and research space utilization , operations and
maintenance. The existing clean, wet and dirty laboratories provide inadequate, obsolete space leading to difficulties in supporting the current college enrollment growth,
teaching current industry standard practices and techniques, conducting peer-accepted research, and recruiting new students. The new facility will provide modern dirty and
wet laboratories with needed additional space and provide modern environmental controls such as specialized dust ventilation systems for plant and soil processing
applications and agriculture engineering technology. The additional, clean workstation and printing space will support the increasing demand for geospatial science
applications from programs within and outside the college. The new laboratory building will eliminate the current conflicts between teaching and research use, sample
contaminations, and concerns with equipment operations and maintenance. The new facility will support an increase in outreach and continuing education opportunities for
Texas residents, especially in the disciplines of geospatial science applications and agriculture engineering technology.
EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FACTORS:
Stephen F. Austin State University is strategically located in the center of the Texas commercial forest resource and significant beef, poultry, and horticultural production.
Because of this proximity, the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture has earned a national reputation for providing exceptional student professional development
and interdisciplinary technical training in forestry, agriculture, environmental science, and geographic information systems (GIS)/remote sensing (RS) applications. These
graduates have near 100 percent employment. Because of enrollment growth, high job demand, and to stay ahead of technological advances, the college has need for a

multidisciplinary facility supporting all programs providing space that can be used to teach best practices and serve Texas . For example, a critical need exists for significant
upgrades in equipment and learning space for the Agriculture Engineering Technology program. Student recruitment in this program suffers because the current facility and
equipment are well below the minimum industrial standards provided by high schools. The current Agriculture Mechanics building does not have appropriate ventilation and
access for large projects. A critical need exists for additional clean, modern, laboratory space for teaching GIS and RS applications. Increasing demand for these geospatial
science disciplines from academic programs in the college and university, as well as, potential community college partnerships and Texas resident outreach and continuing
education cannot be met with the current facilities. The Plant, Soil and Water Analysis Laboratory could better serve the Texas environmental regulatory agencies and
regulated citizens, if it could obtain National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program certifications not attainable under the current laboratory space and obsolete
conditions.

DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION:
A vibrant Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce is vital to making Texas globally competitive. Institutions of higher education are being
called upon to widen the STEM pipeline at all levels of education.
The early childhood years are particularly critical to the development of STEM concepts. Research confirms that the first five years of life account for over 90% of brain
development and that the brain is particularly receptive to learning math and logic between the ages of 1 and 4.
Nationally, approximately 40% of U.S. children are not ready for kindergarten and too many children reach grade 4 lacking key science and math knowledge and skills. This
deficiency is evident in Texas to the extent that the state has provided increased funding for high quality prekindergarten programs . Design of early STEM experiences is
heavily dependent on the abilities of teachers to actively engage students in STEM learning.
SFA’s College of Sciences and Mathematics, houses the STEM disciplinary departments and the STEM Research and Learning Center, which have a longstanding track
record in research. SFA’s College of Education is also known for its research in early childhood education. Therefore, we propose to combine the efforts of these two Colleges
to invest our efforts in STEM teaching and learning specific to early childhood education as well as to provide professional development for early childhood educators and
caregivers.
SFA is requesting $1,000,000 per year of the biennium to engage faculty in the research, program development, and teacher preparation/professional development necessary to
advance STEM early childhood education. We intend to develop best practices for the professional development of teachers and rich learning experiences for young children

in preschool and kindergarten classrooms that will be sustainable and replicable across the state of Texas.
EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FACTORS:
SFA is uniquely positioned to connect STEM education and early childhood education through the institution’s STEM Research and Learning Center and the Early
Childhood Research Center.
• SFA has a distinguished track record in designing and executing high profile programs that promote education in general and STEM education in particular .
• The K-12 outreach initiative through the STEM Research and Learning Center will work with the Early Childhood Research Center’s curricular design initiative to produce
programs specific to embedding the STEM disciplines in early childhood education.
• SFA has experienced recent enrollment growth of STEM majors and has successfully implemented new STEM programs.
• STEM outreach activities are currently expanding to include students who are ages 6 to 9 years of age.
• SFA’s Early Childhood Research Center has two model educational programs, the Early Childhood Laboratory (infants-PK) and the University Charter School (K-5).
These programs provide a supportive, inquiry-based learning environment that promotes STEM learning.
• Funding is requested to engage teams of current SFA STEM and early childhood faculty, clinical faculty, district master teachers, and SFA graduate students to support
this effort. SFA must hire two STEM education faculty and three program consultants with expertise in early childhood STEM teaching and learning in order to fully execute
program design and delivery. Without funding, this will not be possible.
• SFA is uniquely positioned to disseminate best practices related to STEM early childhood education through educator preparation and ongoing professional
development in both the early childhood and STEM fields.

Schedule 9: Non-Formula Support 10/19/2018 9:09:08AM
86th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1
Rural Nursing Initiative
(1) Year Non-Formula Support Item First Funded: 2006
Original Appropriation: $843,260
Year Non-Formula Support Item Established: 2006
(2) Mission:
This funding is used for faculty nursing salaries to address the shortage of nurses in rural East Texas by increasing the number of students admitted into the nursing
programs. Since nurses who train in rural areas tend to remain in rural areas, funding for this item would permit additional students to be admitted to the baccalaureate
programs as well as the master’s program and will thereby increase the number of nurses and advanced practice nurses in the East Texas region.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
Major Accomplishments to Date:(1)The number of graduates for the past five academic years (Fall/Spring) are as follows: Fall 2012/Spring 2013: 118 ; Fall 2013/Spring
2014: 118 ; Fall 2014/Spring 2015: 132 ; Fall 2015/Spring 2016: 130 ; Fall 2016/Spring 2017: 117. The class admitted in the Spring of 2015 was smaller than usual as we did
not have 80 qualified candidates. This class graduated in the Fall of 2016, accounting for the lower number of grads. That class had a 100% pass rate on NCLEX. (2)
Graduation rate data from THECB 2013 – 83% ; 2014 – 91%; 2015 – 81%; 2016 – 89%; 2017 – 89%. While these numbers fluctuate, they remain above the yearly state
averages for BSN programs. (3) Improvement in first-time NCLEX pass rate. Data from the past five academic years: Fall 2012/Spring 2013: 87.29% ; Fall 2013/Spring
2014: 88.14% ; Fall 2014/Spring 2015: 86.36% ; Fall 2015/Spring 2016: 92.42% ; Fall 2016/Spring 2017: 97.56% . For AY 2016/2017, the Texas first time pass rate was 89.77%
and the US was 86.94%.(4)Approval of Master of Science in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner (MSN-FNP) Program and admission of the first class. In April of 2017 we
received permission to start an MSN-FNP from the SFA Board of Regents, the THECB, the Texas Board of Nursing, and the SACS COC. Our first cohort of 19 students
began in Fall 2017; all 19 progressed to the Spring 2018 semester.We have admitted 20 qualified candidates for admission in Fall 2018.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
(1)Stabilize the number of prelicensure students admitted at 80 per semester. Fall 2014 – 76; Spring 2015 – 54; Fall 2015 – 77; Spring 2016 – 65; Fall 2016 – 71; Spring
2017 – 72; Fall 2017 – 80; Spring 2018 – 70. For our Fall 2018 class we have 117 candidates. We will admit 80 and have a wait list should any of those drop off the list
before school starts in the fall.Admission of qualified students varies widely by semester with more qualified students applying for fall semesters. Through more
intense advising and mentoring of pre-nursing students, we plan to increase admits, particularly for spring.(2) Continue to make meaningful use of the Simulation Lab
to diversify student experiences, increase confidence, and better prepare for practice.We have increased the number of simulations to use the Sim Center as a clinical
site.We continue to place students with “live” patients for the rest of their clinical hours. (3)Achieve accreditation and continue to admit cohorts of 25 once per year to
the MSN-FNP program.We are in candidacy for accreditation in this program by the Accreditation Commission in Nursing (ACEN).(4) Increase the number of RNs with
Associate Degrees in Nursing to the RN-BSN program. We currently have 7 affiliation agreements with community colleges to ensure a seamless transition from the
Associate degree to the BSN. We now admit 3 times/year and our numbers are steadily increasing. Our goal is a minimum of 25 active students any given semester.
(4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Non-Formula Support Funding:
This was a new Special Item which allowed SFA to expand its nursing program in an effort to assist the State of Texas with the major nursing shortage.

(8) Non-General Revenue Sources of Funding:
Lack of funding for this initiative would create an inability to meet the growing need for qualified nurses and advanced practice nurses in the East Texas area as well as
statewide. This funding has been instrumental in our current growth. Were funding to be cut, we would have to decrease the number of faculty which would mean
decreasing enrollment to meet Board of Nursing clinical guidelines for both the BSN and MSN. We have revised the RN-BSN program and have an active MSN
program, both of which actually increase the need for adequate numbers of faculty. Maintaining (and hiring) adequate numbers of faculty are essential to the

Applied Forestry Studies Center
(1) Year Non-Formula Support Item First Funded: 1980
Original Appropriation: $400,000
Year Non-Formula Support Item Established: 1962
(2) Mission:
The Center for Applied Studies in Forestry (CASF) in the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture supports applied research that delivers solutions to the
economic and ecological challenges associated with forest resources in Texas. Since 1980, the CASF serves a diverse clientele, providing information not available at
any other location in the state. The CASF provides essential knowledge and expertise required to establish, manage, protect and conserve forest and environmental
resources in Texas and to promote sustainable economic development. The CASF supports interdisciplinary research programs directed by forestry faculty providing
experience-based learning for graduate students and undergraduate students. CASF research provides relevant information used by college forestry faculty towards
the continuing education of Texas professional forest resources managers and the family forestland owner .
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
The CASF Special Item is essential in providing matching funds for federal funds under the McIntire-Stennis Act of 1962 and for leveraging other external funding.
During each of the most recent three fiscal years, the Center has obtained about $4 in leveraged funds for each dollar of Special Item funding provided. Funds provided
by the CASF, together with other leveraged funds, have supported the College’s graduate program since its inception. Major accomplishments to date include the
identification and testing of endocides (endogenous biocides) as an environmentally safe means to control invasive plants in Texas forests, lakes, and rivers; invasive
plant species negatively affect both the economic and the ecologic functions of our state’s forests and water resources . CASF accomplishments include developing
effective means to ensure the regeneration of hardwood and pine stands with desirable species exhibiting maximum growth potential , as well as, strategies to establish
and restore the ecological functions of longleaf pine forests, oak savannahs, and bottomland hardwood wetlands. CASF research investigated the extent and quality of
forest habitat for non-game and game wildlife species. Another accomplishment was the use of geospatial science to study the implications of land ownership
changes, population growth, and increasing fragmentations of forested areas on the ecology and the economy of Texas.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
CASF funds leverage federal and grant funds supporting projects that cross a range of activities and expected accomplishments. The forest resources of interest in our
studies in Texas include urban forests, urban-wildland interfaces, wildlife, water, wetlands and forest recreation, as well as, traditional timber and wood product. The
human dimensions of forest resources management will be studied. As a means to promote forest establishment and conservation, studies will be initiated on how best
to compensate forestland owners for ecosystem services such as maintaining critical wildlife habitat and water quality. Studies will continue on developing cost
effective and time efficient approaches to inventorying and monitoring an array of economically and ecologically critical forest resources using geospatial and drone
technologies. Habitat conditions will be studied and requirements recommended for non-game and game wildlife species, including threatened and endangered
species. Species-specific mechanisms will be studied to control invasive plants and insects using environmentally benign means. Streamside management zone
recommendations across multiple forest site conditions will be developed to enhance water quantity and quality. Studies will relate the genetics of commercially
important pine species in the Western Gulf Region to their growth and yield.

Soil, Plant, and Water Analysis Lab
(1) Year Non-Formula Support Item First Funded: 1962
Original Appropriation: $100,000
Year Non-Formula Support Item Established: 1952
(2) Mission:
This funding provides public service, research, and instructional support in analysis of soils, plant tissues, animal wastes, water quality, and promotes selection and
use of the native plants of Texas. The lab is crucial to undergraduate and graduate students’ education in the department of Agriculture and other majors across SFA.
This comprehensive program combined supports regional agricultural hay, poultry, livestock, dairy and nursery industries with an estimated value of well over a billion
dollars.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
The Soil, Plant and Water Analysis Lab, which includes the SFA Gardens, has a long history of service to East Texas with its unique soil types and nutrient
requirements. The SFA Gardens, which are now comprised of the Mast Arboretum, Pineywoods Native Plant Center, Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden, Gayla Mize Garden,
Jim and Beth Kingham Children's Garden and Jimmy Hinds Park, are the foundation for Nacogdoches' designation by the State Legislature as Garden Capital of Texas.
These facilities continue to enjoy visitation and gain regional support. The Gardens are also outdoor learning environment for SFA students, local K-12 students and
interested public. In addition to this the Gardens provide meaningful employment and job training for a number of SFA students and in -service training for K-12
teachers. The Gardens continue to successfully introduce new and diverse array of plant varieties to the nursery and landscape industry. Part of this mission is
supported by an ongoing collaboration with Chinese universities. On annual basis the Soil, Plant, and Water Analysis Lab has analyzed over 4000 soil samples, nearly
2800 water samples and 1700 forage and other plant samples, and conducted number of other, special tests. Approximately 40% of the analyses support research
conducted by the University’s faculty and graduate students. Unbiased information on soil amendment materials and practices as well as on salt water spills from oil
and gas production is being provided.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
The Soil, Water, and Plant Analysis Lab will initiate projects on evaluation of improved methodology for determination of basic soil characteristics and
recommendations, specifically pH and liming requirement. At the state level, these two parameters alone make management of soils of East Texas unique. The
instruments in the lab support faculty and graduate students across campus. The SFA Gardens, which is a part of the Soil, Water, and Plant Analysis Lab funding, will
expand research into specialty crop introduction including kiwifruit, figs, blueberries and muscadine grapes, which will benefit local growers. Further, the Gardens will
embark on hardiness zone and plant adaptation trials for ornamental trees in the Gulf South and north central Texas . These activities will not only provide direct
benefits to Texas nursery industry but will also leverage external funding. External funding is sought for continuation of research and trials on salt tolerant and
hurricane-proof plants for the Gulf South, and initiation of critical research on drought and alkaline tolerant urban landscape plants for north central Texas . The
Gardens will continue conservation and propagation of native endangered plants and keep increasing scale and profile of pollinator habitat work in the SFA Gardens
outreach project locations. Outreach horticulture programming will reach 15,000 children, SFA students, families and adults annually.

Applied Poultry Studies and Research
(1) Year Non-Formula Support Item First Funded: 2000
Original Appropriation: $87,821
Year Non-Formula Support Item Established: 2000
(2) Mission:
The purpose of this funding is to provide continued support of research, service, and teaching to the poultry industry and its allied industries. Our research has a
direct impact on the poultry industries in our region, the state of Texas, the United States, even on an international scale. Our teaching and research program is
primarily focused on the broiler chicken sector of the industry since this is consistent with the poultry production in our area. Research studies are designed and
conducted to improve the economic efficiency within the integrated poultry industry by continuously improving production parameters , meat yields, and poultry
grower management practices. The landscape of the Texas poultry industry is continuously changing. Currently, Texas produces approximately thirteen million broiler
chickens per week (7.29% of total US production) with over four million of those birds being produced in our region of east Texas . Furthermore, the poultry industry is
currently growing in our area with the expansion of Sanderson Farms new broiler complex in Smith County, due to increase the industry by 1.25 million birds per week.
Our Poultry Research Center is in a unique positon to provide important services to the entire poultry industry and is the only of its kind in the East Texas Region .
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
The major accomplishments to date include the dissemination of research findings from 40 research projects to the integrated poultry industry and its supporters on
local, regional, state, national and international levels over the past 14 years. These research projects provide invaluable information for the poultry industry. This past
year alone research findings were presented at numerous poultry industry meetings, as well as, research meeting in other disciplines such as Occupational Health and
Hygiene, Agricultural Engineering and Molecular Biology meetings. Another vital accomplishment is the teaching of undergraduate and graduate students to provide
well prepared graduates for the integrated and allied poultry industries. The Poultry Research Center provides our students the opportunity to learn about research
and gives our graduate students a facility to conduct their Master’s thesis projects. Our graduates are highly sought after because of the practical “hands-on”
experiences they receive through this program via the Poultry Research Center. Finally, the Poultry Research Center is used for several yearly service programs and
meetings that directly benefit SFA, the poultry industry and other agriculture related industries.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
Plans are to continue to expand cooperative efforts with the allied poultry industry through field research and service learning . The Poultry Research Center currently
has the next 12 months of research projects prescheduled and we are continuing to receive offers for more. Furthermore, the Poultry Research Center will be absolutely
vital for the preparation of career employees to fill management positions in the poultry industry. Our position as a poultry research center and commercial poultry
grower provides us with unique opportunities to prepare our students for a robust career, while providing scientific and practical information to both industry
representatives and poultry growers (farmers). Finally, our department has found new ways to use the Poultry Research Center to improve our instruction for other
classes in our department dealing with food processing, fabrication and safety.

were funded by Jefo Nutrition, USA; Elanco Animal Health, Inc., Phibro Animal Health, Inc.; Huvepharma, Inc., Once Innovations, Inc. and the Department of Health
and Human Services (CDC).
(8) Non-General Revenue Sources of Funding:
The Poultry Research Center would not be able to function at the level it currently does without these funds. The Center’s ability to provide services would be
severely limited. The faculty’s ability to supply hands-on knowledge to SFASU students would be greatly diminished and this would be detrimental to students’
ability to find employment in the poultry and allied industries. It continues to be extremely difficult to secure research funding to cover all the associated costs of daily
operations and research activities at the Poultry Research Center. Without these funds, the faculty will be limited to secure additional research and grant funding. The
facilities located at the Poultry Research Center need updates and replacements due to age and the decline in usefulness. These funds are crucial to keeping the
facilities and equipment functional and modernized. It is important for faculty members to stay current with the modernization of the poultry industry. If the faculty are
not able to update and keep the facilities modernized, we will not be able to teach SFASU students the current technologies, nor will we be able to conduct useful
research for the poultry industry. This would cripple the program, the department, and the university. This program is continuously being asked to do more with less
when more funding is needed to meet the needs of SFASU students and industry stakeholders .

Some selected accomplishments related to these student success initiatives are:
•The four-year graduation rate has increased more than ten percentage points in the last five years.
•First-time undergraduate retention has increased more than four percentage points compared to five years ago. Some minority populations have reported the greatest
increases with six to nineteen percentage point increases during the same time period.
•The percentage of full-time undergraduate transfer students who graduate within two years has increased five percentage points compared to five years ago.
•The number of undergraduate degrees awarded has increased approximately six percentage points over the last five years. During this same time period, the number
of minority graduates has increased more than ten percentage points.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
Continued funding would allow expansion of academic success services to assist additional students through achievement initiatives. Broadening the scope of
students served is expected to further increase retention, graduation rates, and degrees awarded in the next two years. An even larger at-risk student population is
expected to be served by sustained funding. As more served students accelerate academic achievement, student debt is expected to be lowered and more qualified
graduates will be propelled into the state labor market sooner. The continued support will assist the university in realizing the institutional strategic planning goals
which support the desired state 60x30TX higher education accomplishments.

Because of enrollment growth, high job demand, technological advances, the college has need for a multidisciplinary facility supporting all programs providing space
that can be used to teach best practices and serve Texas. A critical need exists for significant upgrades in equipment and learning space for the Agriculture Engineering
Technology program. Student recruitment in this program suffers because the current facility and equipment are well below the minimum industrial standards provided
by high schools. The current Agriculture Mechanics building does not have appropriate ventilation and access for large projects . A critical need exists for additional
clean, modern, laboratory space for teaching GIS and RS applications. Increasing demand for these geospatial science disciplines from academic programs in the
college and university, as well as, potential community college partnerships and Texas resident outreach and continuing education cannot be met with the current
facilities. The Plant, Soil and Water Analysis Laboratory could better serve the Texas environmental regulatory agencies and regulated citizens, if it could obtain
National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program certifications not attainable under the current laboratory space and obsolete conditions .The capacity to
leverage research dollars, conduct peer-accepted research and compete for grants will be reduced, if existing laboratory facilities continue to be used.

Significant efforts in recruiting and retention have resulted in enrollment growth during the past year (about 5%) for the college, especially in the forestry and
agriculture programs. The forestry faculty leverage federal, state agency and private research dollars with state appropriated research dollars at a ratio of about 4 to 1.
From January 2016 to December 2017, college faculty presented their research results in 91 unique publications. The proposed new laboratory facility will enhance
recruitment and retention, increase teaching effectiveness, support leveraging research dollars, and increase productivity and peer-acceptance of research findings.

STEM Education / Early Childhood Program - (Exceptional Item)
(1) Year Non-Formula Support Item First Funded: 2020
Original Appropriation: $1,000,000
Year Non-Formula Support Item Established: 2020
(2) Mission:
To advance a strong educational foundation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to encompass early childhood education and give every
child an equal start.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
SFA is perfectly positioned to connect STEM education and early childhood education through the STEM Research and Learning Center and the Early Childhood
Research Center. The K-12 outreach initiative through the STEM Research and Learning Center coupled with the Early Childhood Research Center's curricular design
to develop intellectual and personal competence is an optimal partnership in creating a program specific to embedding the STEM disciplines in early childhood
education. Grounded in the development of educational models that work, SFA has a distinguished track record in designing and executing high profile programs that
promote education in general and STEM education in particular. Growth in the number of SFA STEM majors over the past 5 years. STEM outreach activities for K-12
through the STEM Research and Learning Center expanded to include students of ages 6 - 9 in Little Jacks STEM Camp. Reputation throughout the state of the SFA
Early Childhood Research Center and SFA early childhood and other educator preparation programs.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
Implementation of high impact practices in STEM education designed by experts in both STEM and early childhood education. To develop best practices for the
professional development of teachers and rich learning experiences for young children in preschool and kindergarten classrooms that will be sustainable and replicable
across the state of Texas.
(4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Non-Formula Support Funding:
The College of Sciences and Math has a longstanding track record in grant acquisition with the National Science Foundation and THECB.Grants have now expired and
it is optimal timing to invest in STEM education.
